Mine did not need this but if necessary, beat in additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until frosting reaches spreading consistency. You want the frosting to be thick and not creamy.

Using a piping bag (or baggie) and tip of your choice, pipe frosting onto cupcakes and garnish with a cherry and lime piece if desired.

RECIPE BACKSTORY

I couldn't wait to make these cupcakes since I love Sonic Cherry Limeade! Alot of reviews on Pinterest said if you love Sonic Cherry Limeade you will love the cake and it is better than the drink! I made cupcakes and not cake and these were very good and I did like them but there is nothing better than the drink at Sonic in my opinion!
This was my 1st time ever making buttercream icing and it was delicious! The cherry taste in this frosting took the cupcake to the top! I had an experience making the frosting! It was a little to creamy and not thick enough for piping so I put it the fridge for an hour and then added a little more powdered sugar and mixed it in by hand and not the beaters! It was thick enough to pipe at that point but I really would of liked it thicker! I'll have to play with it more the next time I make it! I've always said I'm not a baker and my bad luck continues with baking!
